Resolvr — Company Explainer
Resolvr is a Bitcoin-native insurance technology company that connects digital assets with established global reinsurance markets. The company's infrastructure is designed for Bitcoin holders, self-custody users, Bitcoin custodians, Bitcoin treasury companies, Bitcoin miners, insurance carriers, reinsurance markets, and digital-asset platforms. Resolvr provides technology infrastructure and marketplace services; it is not itself a licensed insurance carrier, a bank, a cryptocurrency exchange, a Bitcoin custodian, or a blockchain network. The regulated insurance carriers and reinsurers participating in Resolvr's marketplace provide the underlying policies. Resolvr's role is to build the technology bridge between Bitcoin-denominated assets and licensed insurance capacity.
Founding Story
Aaron Daniel and Dave Schwab co-founded Resolvr to address the gap between traditional insurance infrastructure and Bitcoin-native financial systems. Daniel's experience litigating insurance and commercial disputes, combined with his interest in Bitcoin and Lightning Network payment protocols, informed the company's development. Schwab brought over a decade of experience leading innovative technology ventures, including roles as Chief Product Officer for a tech startup that achieved a successful exit and key positions at Accenture. Together, they built Resolvr to distribute the benefits of insurance and risk management across borders and socioeconomic status using modern technology. The company's LinkedIn profile lists 2024 as its founding year.

BDIC™ — Bitcoin Denominated Insurance Collaborative
BDIC™ is Resolvr's embedded insurance marketplace infrastructure, designed to connect Bitcoin holders directly to global insurance capacity through embedded, wallet-neutral integrations. BDIC enables seamless policy issuance, premium collection, and Bitcoin-denominated claims settlement, creating a bridge between traditional insurance infrastructure and the Bitcoin economy. BDIC is powered by Resolvr's Premium Manager (RPM) platform, which enables instant, cross-border insurance payments with automatic currency conversion between Bitcoin, stablecoins, and fiat. BDIC is a technology marketplace; the underlying insurance policies are provided by regulated insurance carriers participating in the marketplace, not by Resolvr itself.
Wizardsardine / Liana Business Partnership
On December 9, 2025, Wizardsardine announced a partnership integrating Resolvr's BDIC™ marketplace with Liana Business, enabling enterprises to access regulated, Bitcoin-denominated insurance for self-custodied assets. The integration was designed for enterprises, funds, and regulated entities requiring compliance-aligned self-custody. The announcement stated that the BDIC integration would be available in early 2026 to all Liana Business customers. The August 2026 production availability and supported jurisdictions have not been independently re-verified for this profile.
Astrolabe
Resolvr's 2026 communications describe Astrolabe as a blockchain-native marketplace that transforms digital assets like stablecoins and Bitcoin into productive insurance capital. Astrolabe is described as a tokenized reinsurance marketplace. The current launch stage, regulatory structure, supported jurisdictions, and tokenization model have not been independently verified for this profile. Astrolabe should not be described as fully launched unless a current first-party source confirms production availability.
Seed Funding
Resolvr announced seed funding in September 2025, led by Axiom, a Bitcoin-focused venture firm, to expand the BDIC network.

Current 2026 Work
As of 2026, Resolvr's work spans Bitcoin insurance infrastructure, self-custody insurance, Bitcoin treasury risk management, reinsurance, tokenized reinsurance markets through Astrolabe, regulatory groundwork, embedded coverage through BDIC, and industry participation including the Bitcoin 2026 Conference. Daniel has spoken at Bitcoin MENA 2025 and the Bitcoin 2026 Conference on topics including self-custody insurance and the structural failures of custodian insurance.
Bitcoin Self-Custody Insurance
Resolvr's infrastructure addresses risks relevant to Bitcoin holders and institutions, including custodian insolvency, exchange breaches, theft, hardware-wallet loss or destruction, physical-security risks, and corporate treasury exposure. The company's BDIC marketplace is designed to provide Bitcoin-denominated coverage for self-custodied assets, enabling businesses to hold their own keys while accessing insurance. Market-size estimates about uninsured Bitcoin are not independently audited facts and are not published as such in this profile.
Insurance & Regulatory Accuracy
Insurance is heavily regulated. Resolvr is a technology and marketplace company; it is not itself a licensed insurance carrier. The regulated insurance carriers and reinsurers participating in Resolvr's marketplace provide the underlying policies. Jurisdictional restrictions, licensing status, and product availability vary. Resolvr's products should not be described as guaranteed, risk-free, or fully protected unless contractual terms establish those precise statements.

Why Aaron Daniel Matters in Crypto
Aaron Daniel's career connects three unusual areas: law, insurance, and Bitcoin. Through Resolvr, he is working to bring established risk-transfer infrastructure to Bitcoin custody and treasury use cases, building technology that connects Bitcoin-denominated assets with licensed insurance and reinsurance markets. Through the Open Source Justice Foundation and The Bitcoin Brief, he researches how decentralized and open-source systems could affect dispute resolution and the relationship between Bitcoin and law. His work attempts to bridge traditional insurance infrastructure with Bitcoin-native financial systems while also exploring how open-source legal infrastructure could evolve in a Bitcoin-native world. He should not be described as the inventor of Bitcoin insurance, the founder of decentralized insurance, or the first Bitcoin insurance lawyer; his contributions are best understood as those of a builder and researcher at the intersection of law, insurance, and Bitcoin.
